Welcome to the Eurostat Conference on Social Statistics 2016

"Towards more agile social statistics" 28-30 November

Improving the policy-relevance of European social statistics is a high priority for Eurostat. This conference aims to bring together experts and stakeholders in various statistical and policy domains to give input to the future development of Eurostat's social statistics.

The conference will address a range of social statistics-related issues including, but not limited to, the future of census-type population statistics, use of big data in social statistics, modernised data collection on income, consumption and wealth, and new ways of monitoring labour mobility and transitions. Topic-specific sessions will provide examples of new developments that allow for more relevant and timely statistics to be produced.

At the same time, the policy framework that underlies needs for statistics would be presented by European and national policy makers.

Eurostat's mission: to be the leading provider of high quality statistics on Europe.

Eurostat is the statistical office of the European Union situated in Luxembourg. Its task is to provide the European Union with statistics at European level that enable comparisons between countries and regions.

As a key stakeholder of the European Statistical System (ESS), Eurostat is ideally placed to provide support to non-EU countries and non-EU institutions that are looking to approximate their official statistics to EU and International statistical standards.
